‘Gray Lady’ Stomps Out Tumblr Blog

Jonathan Paul, the New York Times’ former web editor, reports that he scrubbed all the content from his Ten Ones Tumblr at the “urging” of the paper’s lawyers. Started last summer, the blog showcased the visual side of the news-making business and featured photos, illustrations, and other eye candy created by Times staff. All the images were credited, linked and widely reblogged, but apparently that didn’t satisfy the legal department, which can only mean one thing: The paywall is imminent.
